It is nothing but a stimulus to boost merchants. $800 is not nothing to sneeze at for about 70% of Americans, and the smart person would put it on a
CC or put it in a savings account as liquid asset for an emergency, but those that should do this will not and they will go buy an IPhone and not be
able to afford the plan. Sad isn’t it…

For me it really doesn’t matter for I’m in that upper middle class category and $800 doesn’t mean much for my lifestyle.
